1,3,4,5,7,8 and 9 of course, as long the your is mine and not yours, haha

Just looked up 2 and 6.....

[Zemo]

Yea, I had and thoughts on 2 and 6 but was wrong when I checked. Didn't want to post what I thought they were and ruin it or make it easy lol

[thunderbolt]

6 I remember well. Not sure what beyond y2k that 7 is significant for. The rest were all no brainers for me. 2 is really easy for a Hellboy fan.

Wait... "what day of the week it happened on" !?!? It was hard enough to guess what the event was!

You should have know everyone of these important dates in history other than #6 (I had to look that date up, but once I saw what it was, I knew what day it happened on because I was watching TV that night)

I knew all the events except for December 8, 1980. And yes, you should all know what happened on these dates without Googling! As far as what day of the week? Holy crap, I taught history and still couldn't tell you some of days of the week. I definitely knew December 7, 1941, September 11, 2001 and my birthday. I made educated guesses and was correct about April 15, 1865 and January 1, 2000. I was one day off on November 22, 1963.

What I think is funny about Dec 7th, in the movie "Pearl Harbor", they show people picnicking, kids playing baseball etc, but the attack happened about 5:00 in the morning. My aunt was born on this very day.

I thought April 15, 1865 was probably some civil war date

Forgot about abe

I got them all except the the 1865 date. I though it was the day the Civil War ended rather than Abe. Now I will forever know May 9, 1865.
